ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BitPay,
world leader in business solutions for Bitcoin digital currency,
announces a partnership to integrate bitcoin acceptance into VisualTouch,
by Visual Information Products Inc. VisualTouch customers can add the
option to pay with bitcoin with BitPay handling the payment processing.
Over the past weekend, the teams presented the opportunity to visitors
to the VisualTouch booth at the National Restaurant Association’s event
in Chicago.

“We are truly excited to announce our partnership with BitPay in order
to bring enhanced capabilities to our current customers and entice new
business through our combined leadership in this field,” said Marius
Kimel, President of Visual Information Products, the developers of
VisualTouch.

VisualTouch
is a complete point of sale system that provides the advanced POS
functionality needed for business management. VisualTouch POS is used in
the Hospitality, Food Service, Grocery, Retail and Concession industries
with a combined install base of more than 6,000 unique customers and
some customers having up to 1,600 locations each. VisualTouch will use
BitPay’s POS-integration solutions to grow bitcoin acceptance through
brick-and-mortar retail locations that may have not considered bitcoin
acceptance in the past.

“This partnership greatly expands the number of businesses that will now
be able to accept bitcoin. BitPay is extremely excited about the
relationship and the opportunity to expand the VisualTouch solution to
include bitcoin,” said Tony Gallippi, Executive Chairman of BitPay. “The
ability for customers to use bitcoin at businesses with VisualTouch POS
systems provides merchants an extremely loyal customer base who will go
out of their way to support companies that accept bitcoin.”

The partnership supports the continued growth of bitcoin acceptance as
VisualTouch becomes used by an increasing amount of businesses.
